Hi,
As stated I am new to growing Cannibus.I germinated these seeds about 3 months ago.They started flowering about a month later so i can assume they were auto flower.They havent really grown in height or width.I did top her at about a month ans a half old.The buds are forming nicely but growing soooo slooowly.

I use a t5 with 6 56w grow bulbs and I just purchased a 600 watt led light.My temps avg 68 to 78 and humidity is between 30 and 45%.Recently I noticed the tip getting brittle.I am working on the nutrients twice a week just a little under what Foxfarms suggests.I have ten new babied coming along and i want to try and avoid have another plant with stunted growth.Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Ps. Please ignore the High and low temps that issue has been fixed :)

You shouldnt top autos at all let alone after they start budding. You are gonna have an extremely small yield.

Those burnt off leaf tips look like nute burn to me. Depending on ur soil there s usually enough nutes already in it for at least the first few weeks of growth if not longer. So no need to ad more. I have grown and flowered entire plants with just happy frog soil (comparable to fox farms) and never added additional nutrients. If you really want to use nutes on ur first grow consider using coco choir rather than soil. Easier to flush and plants grow bigger quicker.

Your main reason for those small plants is the small pots. If you want a decent yield from autos they need to go into large pots like 3gal minimum right from seed. They do not do well being up-potted like photo plants do. Keeping them on 24 hour light until they start to flower helps hold back the onset of flowering for a while allowing them to get larger before flowering begins.

As autos keep vegging thru their lives even as they are flowering veg nutes should gradually change to full blooming formulas as the flowering progresses. There are specific ways to do this and I thought I had a couple good links but can't find them. Likely some here in the forum threads dealing with autos.

:peace:
